Ever since the defense role got mixed in with the offense heroes with a small pinch of symmetra, i basically had this mentality going saying “okay, no more dps heroes.” But maybe we can ease the issue by splitting the role into 2 once again?
A small suggestion would be to call the 2nd role type “Flank.” Since heroes are much better at hunting down lone targets and significantly (and annoyingly) staggering the team.
They struggle at dealing actual damage against a whole team, unless they use an ultimate.
Heroes that fall into the “Flank” category:
Tracer
Genji
Mei
Sombra
Doomfist
Hanzo (Possible)
Mccree (Also Possible)
While this new role may be small, it’s still a good way to make the damage category a bit less annoying to choose from.
A balanced team comp would be:
2 Tanks, 2 Healers, 1 Damage, 1 Flank.
Sometimes teams can go full flank with Genji/Tracer, or pure damage with Soldier/Junkrat. Something along those lines.
If this concept seems a bit familiar, you may be thinking of Paladins, where the 4 classes are “Frontline, Support, Damage, and Flank.”
Just a small suggestion to make the Damage category a bit smaller and open opportunities for more varied team comps.

So, copying Paladins.
I wouldn’t call it copying, just being “inspired” by their decision.
Eh, call it whatever u want, i only realized that when i was finishing the post.
Let’s just not. All it does is pushing people into playing according to their category and having to listen to a bunch of crap if they don’t. Like Torb could live in peace now had they never labeled him “defense”
